Wednesday night the Joint Leaders of Union Church met and heard an exciting report from BUFF (Building Union for the Future). Before the Chinese New Year you will be receiving information and there will be forums to discuss the plans. Members will vote at the AGM on March 16 if everything falls into place. Please pray for wisdom for the BUFF committee as they serve us so well. Sunday January 19 we welcome Dr. John Huffman to our pulpit. He has long been one of my pastoral heroes. He has chaired the boards of World Vision, Christianity Today, and Gordon-Conwell Seminary. You won't want to miss him. Former Union Pastor Bill Teng will also be with us next Sunday and is looking forward to greeting old friends. |

January 15, Wednesday at 8pm: Two Wisemen John Huffman and Nury Vittachi will both deliver talks. Vittachi published 40 plus fiction, non-fiction, and children's books. He has published in the Standard and many other newspapers across Asia, and on the web under the alias of Mr Jam. Vittachi was born in Ceylon in 1958, married in Hong Kong, and adopted three Chinese children. He is probably Hong Kong's most beloved journalist and author. He will speak on Science and Faith. Huffman was born in Boston, earned his doctorate from Princeton Seminary, served for 47 years as a pastor, and acted as the chaplain for the Miami Dolphins and PGA Senior Golf Tour. He has three children and travels the world to lead people to a personal, saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Missions |
|
Union Church is a Missional minded Church! Several folk in the congregation have come forward to have their organization included in our Missions Directory. But we would like to hear from more of you. If you are involved with an organization or ministry which works with asylum seekers, feeding the elderly, taking care of orphans and disabled children, integral mission, or caring for the poor in communities around Hong Kong and Asia, or even further afield, please do connect with Lee-Ann or May Tang. This year, our hope as a Missions Team is to get even more people engaged in Missions and Outreach. If you represent an organization by being a board member, an employee or volunteer, and would like your organization to be included, please email May Tang |
